Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr. is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Porter will return to the Brooklyn Nets’ starting lineup after sitting out Sunday’s 103-98 loss against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is averaging 26.4 points, eight rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.9 steals over his last seven games.

Michael Porter Jr. (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Fantasy Impact

The Nets will be giving Porter the day off on Sunday in order to let him rest and recover from any bumps and bruises that he's dealing with. He should be back in the lineup sometime in the near future, and Noah Clowney will see more work until then.

Porter will suit up Friday against the Clippers after dealing with right knee soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. The forward was previously listed as probable on the injury report after banging knees with Wendell Carter during Wednesday's contest. Despite the knee issue, he's cleared to play against Los Angeles.

Fantasy Impact

Over his last four outings, Brooklyn's star forward has averaged 28.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 4.8 three-pointers. The knee soreness won't prevent him from taking the court Friday.

Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is expected to play in Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Porter is expected to be available to play on Friday night. He has been managing a knee injury recently, but it's not a serious issue at this point and likely won't affect his availability against Los Angeles. He will continue to be a great fantasy option if active for this game.

Michael Porter Jr. caught fire from distance Wednesday, draining eight three-pointers en route to 34 points (12-of-24 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three steals, five rebounds, and one assist in Brooklyn's loss to the Magic. The perimeter explosion helped him crack the 30-point barrier for the first time in nearly a month after being held to the twenties in six consecutive games.

Fantasy Impact

Porter Jr. was efficient throughout, converting shots inside the arc effectively while going perfect from the charity stripe on his two attempts. He also provided value defensively with multiple steals. The performance continues his strong first season with the Nets, and he'll aim to maintain that production Friday against the Clippers.
